it's been a while since i've actually written something meaningful on this thing.... keke, but then.. i've always been afraid to be too real on something so public. even if no one reads it, just the fact that people are able to read it if they happen to chance across it kind of scares me... it's like putting yourself out there for everyone to critique... i don't know... it's kind of weird, isn't it?
home was good. it was nice to just chill. i saw 3 movies this weekend: ice age, panic room, and amelie. they were all pretty good, so i was happy. it's been a long time since i saw a movie, so it was good. i spent a little time with my mom too, which was good. my sister and her husband brought me back up on sat. i drove most of the way, which was interesting because i've always been the passenger. omg~ i don't know how you drivers do that back and forth! i thought i would die by the 5th hour. given, the drive was 1.5 hours longer than usual.. xP we hit this stupid accident along the 580 that kept us on the road for a total of 7.5 hours! ugh, gag me with a spoon~
i had sort of a weird moment. my family has never really talked about religion at home. even though i was raised in a Christian family, i think church things have stayed, for the most part, at church. when i was younger, i remember my mom would tell me Bible stories and things like that, but other than that, i don't ever recall having a serious conversation concerning our walk, or anything of that matter. but this weekend, my mom asked me and my little sister if we were Christian. what a strange question to ask, huh? But she wanted to know if Jesus were to come right now, did we think we would go to Heaven. we both answered yes, but we were both uncomfortable too. it made me think.. why were we so uncomfortable? that's my mom asking me.. what would i have to feel weird about? i mean, here i am thinking of going to missions this summer, and i feel uncomfortable when my mom asks me a simple question about my faith. am i ready? i don't know.. i know that no one is ever ready to go to missions... but still, it made me think twice i guess. my sister tried to shift the conversation, perhaps, and started to talk about the book she is currently reading, left behind. it talks about the rapture and the people left behind, or whatever. gosh~ i don't know much about revelations.. i don't think i've ever heard it called the rapture, so my mom kinda flipped out and tried to give me a condensed version of revelations... in korean.. haha~ so it wasn't too successful, but it did peak my interest in reading more about it. my mom kept saying how scary it's going to be if you get left behind. but this kind of gave me the chance to bring up missions and finally finally get her permission. so it looks as if that's all set to go.. i just need to find an organization to go with.. -__-;; but at least i have my parent's permission. woo hoo~!
man, it sucks to be back in school~ i want to go to sleep, but i have to write an article in japanese tomorrow about how sucky the university toilets are. -__-;;
